The problem as posted -- showing only a sequence of numbers without any information about what kind of sequence it is -- can't be answered.

Any subsequent numbers will form a valid sequence; and of course different subsequent numbers will have different forms of the rule for the general term of the sequence.

Given this sequence of 6 numbers, there is a unique polynomial of degree 5 that will produce the given sequence; and there are an infinite number of polynomials of degree 6 or greater that will produce it.

And the given sequence might have nothing to do with polynomials....
